Consider the following relations for emf of an electrochemical cell:

(a) emf of cell = (Oxidation potential of anode) – (Reduction potential of cathode)
(b) emf of cell = (Oxidation potential of anode) + (Reduction potential of cathode)
(c) emf of cell = (Reduction potential of anode) + (Reduction potential of cathode)
(d) emf of cell = (Oxidation potential of anode) – (Oxidation potential of cathode)


Which of the following combinations correctly represents the relation for the emf of the cell?

1. (a) and (b) 2. (c) and (d)
3. (b) and (d) 4. (c) and (a)

Given below are half-cell reactions:
\(\text{MnO}_{4}^{-}+8 \text{H}^{+}+5 \text{e}^{-} \rightarrow \text{Mn}^{2+}+4 \text{H}_{2} \text{O}, \)
\( \text{E}_{\text{Mn}^{2+}}^{\circ} / \text{MnO}_{4}^{-}=-1.510 \text{ V} \)
\( \frac{1}{2} \text{O}_{2}+2 \text{H}^{+}+2 \text{e}^{-} \rightarrow \text{H}_{2} \text{O}, \)
\( \text{E}_{\text{O}_{2} / \text{H}_{2} \text{O}}^{\circ}=+1.223 \text{ V}\)
Will the permanganate ion, \(\text{MnO}_{4}^{-}\) , liberate \(\text{O}_{2}\) from water in the presence of an acid?

1. No, because \(\text{E}_{\text {cell }}^{\circ}=-2.733 \text{ V}\)
2. Yes, because \(\text{E}_{\text {cell }}^{\circ}=+0.287 \text{ V}\)
3. No, because \(\text{E}_{\text {cell }}^{\circ}=-0.287 \text{ V}\)
4. Yes, because \(\text{E}_{\text {cell }}^{\circ}=+2.733 \text{ V}\)
